ActionScript 2.0 :: Finding Words In Loaded XML?
Sep 22, 2009
I'm loading an external XML file, with numerous items. Each item has it's own 'description' tag. What I'm trying to figure out is how can I more properly execute this:
- Find multiple keywords in all loaded items, if I find any of the selected keywords how can I fire off a separate function to my project (Example: If I find the word "hamburger" in one of the lets say, 54 loaded entries, how can I tell my flash project "if you find "hamburger", hamburgers = 1). Same thing goes if I find "hamburger" within 4 xml items, and "hotdogs" in 12 of the entries making flash know hamburgers = 4 and hotdogs = 12.
My predicament really is on ruling out numerous incorrect amounts. Example, If one xml item has hamburger three times, and another xml item has hamburger only once, getting only one valid "hamburger hit" (that was cleaver terminology, wasn't it? ) instead of three hits for that one xml item.
So, I'm trying to let flash know, if you notice "hamburger" once, and only once in an xml item, stop counting the hamburgers, and the item's hamburger value is only 1. If the item has no keywords (example, hamburgers, hotdogs, watermelons, soda, blah blah, (lets say a total of 30 keywords) ) do nothing and do not count the item and move to the next for keyword function searching.

I'm loading words from a .txt file to a Flash crossword puzzle. It works perfect locally, but has trouble when uploaded to the web. Sometimes it works, but usualy has trouble loading the words. Is there a way I can check if the text file words are loaded before it continues with the game? This is what I'm using code: loadVariables (myDomain + "words/" + myPuzzle + ".txt", "");

I have a preloader using this script:
[Code]....
I want a mask to go over some words in relation to the percentage of the file loaded. Below it I want text that says 1%, 2%, 3%, etc. (also in relation to the percentage loaded). But when I test it and click "simulate download," the screen stays white for about 10 seconds then goes to frame 2 where my content starts.?! I get no errors, either. PS: on Flash CS5, is TLF text the same as Dynamic? For "percentage," the only two options are Classic and TLF...

I am loading in a list of thumbnails from an XML file. The images are not always square but one of the dimensions is always 50pixels, whether it be height or width. Occasionally an image IS square. I am creating a 52x52 sprite and adding the loader image as a child to this sprite centrally. To do this I need to know the dimensions of the loaded images. (the loader object). Everything loads, parses and displays as it ought to, I just cannot find the width/height of the loaded image. Pics1List is an XML file.
ActionScript Code:
var imageLoader:Loader;
var request:URLRequest;
for (i = 0; i < (pics1List.picture.length()); i=i+1) {
var picture:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
imageLoader = new Loader();
[Code] .....
As you can see, I tried a few different things and frankly in the end just tried each combination I could!. The closest I got was when I used imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.width and the error message was "The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information." which is why I added the event.complete function. However, this function never triggered so I commented it out.

how I can find the original stage size of an SWF that has been loaded into a parent clip via MovieClipLoader? In the child clip, there are a number of elements that extend beyond its stage, so when I check the _width and _height properties, then they include the stage overlap.
I tried using mc.getBounds(), but it doesn't seem to give me what I'm after.

I have a word,its content is follows:var txt:String="abcdefg";I want to show word from the first letter to the last letter,the word effect is one by one. For example,at the beginning I only show the first letter 'a',the 'a' size is big,such as 30,and then the letter 'a' size minish gradually to 20.Then show the second letter 'b',first,the letter 'b' size is big also,such as 30,and then the letter 'b' size minish gradually to 20,and the letter 'b' is behind the letter 'a',and so on with letter 'c'. When all letters show,the effect stops.

I have a document class which is linked to an external class that defines the properties of a specific textfield. When the user submits the text in the textfield (whatever they typed into it) I would like the text to be broken up into the individual words and have those words placed into separate movie clips (the same instance of a movie clip, just each word placed into a different one). How can I do this? Here is the code I am using.
Code:
function replaceText(event:MouseEvent):void { //beginning of the function for the submit button

For a rather complex search function I need to get the first letter of each word entered into an input field. At first glance this may not seem like a big problem if every word is neatly seperated by a space.
Although people can enter whatever they want into the field I only want to work with the words that start with a-z or A-Z.
I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how I can determine if a character in the string falls into this selection. One of the possibilities is to use charCodeAt(), but that's rather rough. I can walk through the string using indexOf() but I may have trouble finding the next word if characters other than a space come into play.

I'm creating a little interactive art game in Flash MX 2004 that is based on the old ZORK type interactive text only games, although mine has visual content as well. I've got the script working as far as sending the user to my chosen frames when a reply is typed and the enter key is pressed, but I'm having trouble with my "curse words" feature. What is want is that when the user types a swear word and hits Enter, they will go to the "swear" frame where they are scolded and sent back to the beginning of the game.
I can guess the most likely swear words to be typed, but I'm not sure how to write the script to make Flash watch the input field (variable name is reply) and know when one of the target words is typed, and then send the user to my "swear" frame. This functionality needs to be on just about every frame.

I'm doing a external image slider, and i have to put some words appearing with each image. Those words must be editable, so i can't just simply draw them on photoshop. Besides that, must be updated sometimes. Finnaly, there is an motion tween applied to the words. Now, the problem is this: The list of words to put in this fla is extense (something like 20 words). So, to update this, i don't want to open flash and edit one by ony, having to edit in place all the words in all the motion layers, it would be very anoying. So i'd like to use something like a notepad file to update these words, or something looked like...

I want to have a name appear on my Flash page stay for 10 seconds, and fly off then another name and so on... So it would sort of be like "her name was... JENNY", and the "JENNY" would be the bit that changed... I don't want it to ever end either so would I need to have some sort of file with like a million names in there that Flash would pull in?

I have a text field with a width of 10, and a height of 100. The text I'm inputting is something like:
"Hi thisisareallylongwordthatdoesntfitinthefirstline"
After setting the text, the text field becomes:
Hi
thisisareallylongwordth
atdoesntfitinthefirstline
I want it to be:
Hi thisisareallylongwor
dthatdoesntfitinthefirs
tline
What I'm trying to say is I don't want there to be a new line when the second word doesn't fit. I want to cut off the second word.
I've looked through TextField and TextFormat and I can't find anything that addresses this. Did I overlook something?

I am making a game where random letters and words are generated into movieclips, thats the background. I built it using arial as my font, however I then decided to go with a fixed width font to make sizing the movieclips to the words much more straightforward. Yesterday this worked fine, the font i am using (Liberation Mono) is installed on my computer, all the textboxes which use this font have the character embedding on them, and I have not changed any of the movieclips, only non-relevant code. So I run it up again today and none of the words appear. Thinking it might be some code changes I made I go thourhg tracing out everything, only to find the wrds are being generated, and written to the textbox absolutely fine. I switch back to Arial just as a check and bang it works again.

I want something where I click a button, and it replaces words with other synonyms automatically. My thoughts are:
set up array
(array1=array2)
array1="word1","word2","word3"
array2="word1","word2","word3"
search text for word in array1
if find in text= word in array1
replace with random word in array2
Would anyone know how to set this up, or point me in the right direction?

I'm trying to build a bingo card, that will show random words in different locations each time you reload the page. It's 5x5 grid. I'm planning to set up 25 arrays (for each text field on my card), containing lists of the same 25 words. I have a code that pulls random words from each array into my text fields, but I can't figure out how to prevent the words from repeating on the card. A different word should be pulled out from each array.
Here is my code so far:
var words1:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
var words2:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
var words3:Array = ["word","table","lamp"];
[Code].....
